And probably,  due to these reasons, our lives have turned upside down. Today's generation kids must be wondering, what was the condition of children where there was no smart phone, no internet, no social media ????

Well, though it's correct that, hese were not available at that time. Yet children were quite joyful and having greater social skills than that of the presesnt generation kids. They were healthier.
I'm rather feeling nostalgic. Don't you?
Can you imagine how happy we were with the simpler lifestyle 50 years ago than the so called luxurious living now?

How we miss those days; those things of past which amused us more than what stressful life we are leading now. Alas!!
Let's go down the sweet memory lane. 

Boys had fun with these things.






How can we ignore those golden days?? There was complete joy in the way children used to play, with no harm caused to themselves. It's missing in today's internet age, where children play games online; no physical exercise, no social skills. 

Girls were overjoyed with the following things......




We were quite cheerful with the things available with almost no cost, though there were no pizzas, burgers, or KFC chicken available that time.


Vintage inspired collection

I'm sure you will like to have a look at the vintage inspired collection of mine, if you're from the 80's /90's and share them with your present day kids. They probably wouldn't understand what are these? But still,  they should have an idea about how their previous generation used to lead their lives.

As Mahatma Gandhi to India ......as Sai baba to Shiridi .... as Gopabandhu Das to Odisha... similarly he was to Aul, Kendrapara.In fact, people in that locality admired him more than Gopabandhu Das.It can be verified through evidences. Because, he was no less than the others in fighting for the freedom of the nation.He was imprisoned several times during the British rule.

Interesting features of Bhubaneswar: a Temple City VS. Smart City

  What are some important and interesting features of                    Bhubaneswar?? To an outsider, it may puzzle, whether Bhubaneswar is only a city full of temples,i.e. temple city, or it's something considered to be a smart city.  Thus it's my privilege to share a clearer perspective of it, being a resident of Bhubanswar. Yes, you heard it right. It's not only a culturally rich temple city but also one of the globally ranked smart cities. HISTORY: Well, let me start with its Foundation Day being celebrated on April 13, as on this date in 1948, the capital of Odisha was shifted from Cuttack to Bhubaneswr.It has a history of over 3000 years, emerging with thhe Mahameghabahana Chedi dynasty around 2nd century BCE. It's popularly known as 'Mandiramalini' or the Temple City of India. Because, it has innumerous temples situated on its periphery since time immemorial. In fact, the city, is said to h...
